There's not! All the talking points are proscribed to cross circuit our brains into hating the "other side" when the real culprits are those we never see nor hear about; the elite. I'm not talking about the local bank president, raking in a whopping $300k or even the executive pulling in $15 million. Those people are just agents of the elite. The rest of us are pawns.<br /><br />I suggest that none of us has the big picture because of all the dis and misinformation that has been brainwashing us into one perspective or another to keep us divided for decades (and more). One such assumption is "Jobs are a global (and universal) necessity". I respectfully disagree.<br /><br />A job is generally considered selling time/energy/services to a corporate entity for the privilege of life. What if food, shelter and medical care necessary for life was actually a right, guaranteed and enforced by society? What if everyone did what they love every day in service to fellow humans and we use technology/machines/computers to do everything it is capable of doing? <br /><br />We only need to work for the man because we are required to trade worthless paper (or the corresponding electronic accounting entry) for life necessities. So we all scurry around to find the least offensive activity that pays us the most to spend our lives doing something we'd really rather not, just to enrich the very rich (follow the money). <br /><br />What if freedom actually meant we are free to live our lives doing what we love (hmmm...sounds remarkably similar to what I learned was capitalism but is obviously not)?<br /><br />It's not my idea but one I ran across after over a year of being unemployable (despite acquiring credentials that were supposed to guarantee me opportunity). It's called The Zeitgeist Movement and Venus Project where in the end, everyone is equal and entitled to share the prosperity of our world. Having a "job" and an "employer" that has control over our ability to survive is only good for the elite controllers of capital. <br /><br />Great article!New Paradigmhttp://inspirina.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
